Pies, Love & Ukulele! Big, balding Northern (yes, it should be capitalised) fella playing cheeky songs, country toones and picking the occasional bar blues. Loves open mic nights, loathes karaoke. Owns too many hats. Gets a kick from making folks smile with his songs and strumraising money for good causes.
Fell in love with the ukulele on honeymoon in Hawaii in 2009, came home with one and haven’t looked back. Joined Wigan Ukulele Club when I moved to town in April 2014 where I perform solo spots, lead club nights and sit on the committee, with the intention of bringing ukulele to the masses. I also get to trial new material @Chonkinfeckle Chonkin Choonsday open mic nights. Prolific songwriter with random influences from all over. Tom Lehrer to B.B King, Gogol Bordello to Brad Paisley.
Guitarist for nearly 25 years, running acoustic sessions, charity gigs and playing the odd gig with a country band. I enjoy performing at the occasional charity country night where I either solo or as @PatronSaintsOCM.
